[writingquestionsanswered]

i’m currently writing a story where the OC starts to develop a love interest with Person A, but longer the story runs the OC falls in love with Person B.

Set up is in a dystopian world

How do i write so the readers don’t fall to deep with Person A x OC relationship? or is better for the readers to pick side? How do i make the romance story/plot seamless for the transition of relationship?

A+B < A+C Love Triangle

The key to making a A+B < A+C love triangle work is to make sure you do two things simultaneously:

1 - Ramp Down (or End) the A+B Leg

Before A and C can really ramp up, you have to address what changed in the relationship with B that made the shift in interest and affection possible. This could be a slow roll, like growing apart or a gradual misalignment of beliefs/goals. Or, it could be a sudden split, like B dying, leaving, or the relationship falling apart.

2 - Ramp Up the A+C Leg

From the moment A and C first interact, you'll want to start slowly ramping up their interactions by building their friendship, deepening their bond, and increasing their romantic interest and romantic tension. (See: Guide: Characters Falling in Love, Guide: Writing a Slow Burn Romance, The Subtle Signs of Romantic Interest and Love, Transitioning Through Levels of Affection)

Key elements to pay attention to:

-- What barrier kept these two apart initially? If A met C after they were already involved with B, that's an instant barrier. But, if they met at the same time, what kept A from initially falling in love with C rather than B?

-- What changed and why? If A and B parting ways, or A and C falling in love is the result of someone or something changing, what changed and why did it change?

-- How do these relationships tie into arc and theme? Characters usually grow or change over the course of the story, usually as a direct result of the things they experience because of the events of the story. So, how does character growth/change affect the rise of A+C and the fall of A+B, and how is character growth/change affected by the rise of A+C and the fall of A+B? How do these relationships tie into the story's themes, and how do the themes affect the relationships and where they go?

Other things you can do to help readers get on board with A+C:

Although you can't guarantee all of your readers will jump the A+B ship in favor of the A+C ship, there are things you can do to encourage that choice.

#1 - Make sure A is their best, happiest self when they're with C. Which is not to say they should NEED C in order to be happy/their best self. They should be that on their own, too. This is simply to say that they should not be lesser version of themselves when they're with C. Because if they were bubbly, happy, and confident with B, but grumpy, tired, and often depressed with C, that's not going to win anyone over to the A+C leg of the triangle.

#2 - Choose either a conciliatory or villainous exit for B. While it's essential to make a good argument for A to be with C instead of B, you'll have better luck convincing the readers to bail on B if they can see that B is okay... that getting out of the relationship was good for them, too... or if they can see that B wasn't deserving of A's love in the first place.

#3 - Make sure C is a worthy recipient of A's affection. If B is a kind, smart, well adjusted person and caring/supportive of A, but C is kind of a dull-minded jerk who has a lot of problems and isn't very kind to or supportive of A, that's not going to win anyone to C's side.

#4 - Make sure you create better romantic chemistry between A and C. If A and B are together at the start of the story, you can start them off with flat or low fizz chemistry. That way, if you create better chemistry between A and C, the reader will root for that leg over the leg with less chemistry.

#5 - Create a better future for A with C than with B. "Better" is obviously subjective, depending on your story and characters, but ultimately you don't want the reader to think A would have a better future if they stayed with B versus ending up with C.

Bonus: this one might not apply depending on what you're writing, but I would say * most * of the time, you want to avoid having any sort of infidelity on A's behalf as things ramp up between them and C. Again, it depends on what you're writing... some spicier stories have intentional affair story lines. But again, most of the time you'd want to avoid that. Not only do you not want to make A and C look bad, but you don't want to sully their relationship with infidelity. It also swings sympathy over to B, which doesn't exactly make C more appealing.

Happy writing!

Asking this under anon bc i don’t wanna get any backlash in my inbox lmao

but to start this off: i love oliver stark, and i am so appreciative of how important he views this storyline and the representation it provides

however

i am going to be very disappointed in him if we get through the next few episodes, and it becomes clear that they aren’t going to further develop buddie anymore. he has always been so careful and cautious when it comes to implying things in interviews/press stuff, but lately with this resurgence in his response to fandom interest with buddie (liking fanart, reposting it, talking openly about buddie in interviews, confirming things like buck thinking eddie was attractive, etc.) if they don’t go that route, it will honestly severely hurt me.

i have very mixed feelings about what is and isn’t “queerbaiting” (most of my friends would say i tend to not believe that it’s a thing, and to an extent i agree) but there are certain situations in which something does blatantly feel like baiting… to me this is one of those situations.

with both lou and edy still being around, as well as ryan’s sudden stint in pr jail, the fandom’s obsession w lou/tommy, and tim minear’s seeming interest in complying with fan-service… it’s hard to remain optimistic that they will actually give us buddie. the past two weeks have given me whiplash as a buddie fan and i am getting tired of the show using our desperation and love for this ship as a marketing tactic when they have no intention of going there (tim minear himself saying things like “i don’t like to plan endgame relationships” or “there are no plans for buddie at the moment”).

that is why the media’s sudden obsession with asking about buddie, as well as oliver’s willingness to interact with buddie content online combined with the constant flow from the set of things not going in the direction of buddie… it feels very intentional to drag us in. and if oliver is participating in that, then i am going to be very disappointed and hurt by that. he used to care so much about not getting our hopes up, but lately it feels like that isn’t the case anymore, and that getting our hopes up is their way if getting us to continue watching the show because they know that people will stop watching after having to watch years of buildup and (at times admittedly) roment subtext between them just for all of that to be completely retconned and them to say “no-homo, bro” in favor of a character/ship that came out of nowhere and has had no development.

obviously, i don’t blame os for the storyline- he’s not a writer, he doesn’t get to dictate what does or doesn’t happen. But he is the one getting all of the media attention, and using that to shine a spotlight on buddie when (if) he knows that buddie isn’t happening? it feels very icky to me and i really don’t want to have a reason to dislike him.

unfortunately it’s seeming more and more like a possibility each day as we get inundated with bts info that doesn’t bode well for us at all.

I’m afraid I’ll have to disagree with you anon sorry😭🫶

If buddie doesn’t go canon/ they don’t show they’re heading in that direction in the next few episodes, I still would not blame Oliver at ALL for his recent more openness about buddie

(Idk how familiar you are with me and if you are you’ll know this but if you’re not lemme clarify I use bulletpoints a lot but not to be curt or rude I just like breaking things into chunks🫡)

1. He has made sure to constantly clarify that he doesn’t know how things are gonna go and he has no control over things- i mean EVERY time he spoke about buddie

2. He’s also a fan of the show guys, yes yes he’s an actor and it has different implications I agree 100% but also if he’s choosing to ship his character or enjoy fan work that’s his prerogative and sure he can lurk privately like he has in the past but also he probably knows that implications aside fans who make that work will be ecstatic to see him actually liking the stuff

3. The man legit said he deleted social media at one point cos he didn’t wanna like or share stuff that’d accidentally give people false hope for buddie or bi Buck but he has silently agreed for years and he hated not being able to confirm bi buck till now

4. He’s been a HUGE advocate for us both on the buddie front and bi buck front and that deserves recognition

5. As you said there is a LOT of bucktommy love rn which is great and all but may draw focus away from buddie, if Oliver is intentionally trying to get buddie fans to keep going it could genuinely just to show that buddie fans are still aiming for buddie endgame and that they still make up a huge portion of the fandom

6. Writing is CONSTANTLY in progress on 911 so again buddie fans being more vocal and abc and writers seeing such positive responses to him so much as interacting with buddie posts or answering buddie questions give them a gauge of audience’s wants (granted Tim has stated it’s not a HUGE factor for him) and also keep in mind s8 is still in the books so even proposals of storylines may be in the talks rn

7. When he talks he is VERY careful about his words and is very well spoken on the topic like yes there have been more stuff we can read into and be optimistic about but you can tell that he in no way is saying specific things to bait people, when talking about existing buddie things he talks about HIS interpretation and uses lots of maybes and might’ve beens and I see how that could be and when he talks about future buddie he talks about being open to it talks about what he’d want from it and he talks about not having control or knowledge of it happening

So yeah he has done/said things that I absolutely think warrant optimism (I made a whole post about it) but if it doesn’t pan out that optimism should a- still be there b- not turn into blame for him

Okay now Oliver aside- the questions being asked about buddie and all the buddie promotions I would be side eyeing the higher ups for if it’s for nothing because yes all the articles and stuff are stuff being pre-approved by abc and the people higher up than cast members or the journalists but I would also keep in mind that s8 is still in the works so hope is not lost even if s7 isn’t what we hoped for because keep in mind we had only 10 eps to work with too

How is there people who unironically ship Jackie x Kelso xD

#that 70's show #anti jelso #like I’m not saying don’t ship it obviously #but they don’t make any sense #they were so disfuncional and toxic #his serial cheating #and always gaslighting her and blaming it on him being stupid #and he didn’t feel guilty until it happened to him too #and pressuring her to have sex #and her always belittling him and making him unhappy #they just didn’t make each other happy tbh #they deserve better than each other #I think people ship it cuz they ship the actors irl #like they’re like that miserable basic straight couple you see at school #only with each other for looks

Gotta be real I dislike kabru x mithrun and I’m dreading whenever mithrun shows up in the anime and the arc of kabru taking care of him makes everyone go Omg yaoi!!!!!!!!

#obviously I can’t stop anyone and I don’t hate anyone for liking it but personally I feel the wave coming and I’m scared #I don’t relly like most ships in dungeon meshi that aren’t farcille or labru TBH maybe I’m just a hater #lamari gets a pass for cute and I’m kind of warming up to chilshi But I was born a hater … #I’m scared of shipping becoming a big thing esp for a series that doesn’t really have a focus on it at all #I’m scared of it getting more popular and laios x marcille becomes big THATS MY BIGGEST FEAR #idk 🤓 I say this but I draw sooo much labru so idk .

For me the most fascinating aspect of Hera’s character is her relationship with her culture. Like, it directly affects everything about her because she’s only ever known war, to the point she never even spared a thought of what she would do once it was over, and because of the ridge with her father she can’t even help Ryloth directly for a long time, and then once that’s opened up again she’s immediately forced to gamble away her home in Order to protect the only piece of her mother and her brother she still has left. Like all series she very competently walks the tightrope of being as professional as possible while still trying to be gentle to her adopted kids who are also kind her subordinates and yet her relationship with her planet is one of the few things that makes her lose balance. I just think she’s so neat. This has nothing to do with that other post btw I just agree with you that Hera is such a well written character and I wanted to share some thoughts

this is sooooooo good and yes i agree! hera is so fascinating, and while i obviously love her relationship with kanan and the maternal side of her, and that IS an important part of her character, there’s also so much more to her and it’s really sad that everyone reduces her to “wife and mother,” especially when i feel like she is a character purposefully written to break the mold of the typical mom character

challenge for the star wars fandom: say something about hera without calling her spacemom or just focusing on her romantic life. instead try:

her relationship to her culture/homeworld

her relationship with her own parents/childhood

her love of flying

her relationship to organized military (in the rebellion and the new republic)

her abilities as a mechanic

her leadership skills

and so much more!

#don’t get me wrong i LOVE spacemom but that’s like all anyone has to say about her and it’s annoying #and kanera is undoubtedly the best star wars ship and i am OBSESSED. but again hera is her own whole person!!! #ask #anon #oh and obviously her maternal side and her relationship to kanan is woven through a lot of the points i brought up and you can’t really #divorce those things from her character those were just examples of interesting things about her barely anyone talks about #i’m not saying DONT talk about those sides of her just. recognize her in other ways as well bc there is so much to her

[billdenbrough]

i’m not personally interested in any romantic combination of the kevin-thea-jean situation (but i do think thea makes the most sense in terms of canon endings with kevin) but i am so completely fascinated by the three of them as like. this is someone who lived through a hivemind with me. this is someone who understands what this life was. here is someone who knows ravens, knows the nest, knows the person i once was and will never fully shake. here is someone who was forged in that fire with me, even if beat with a different hammer, made into a different shape, held onto a different thing to get through. and now, here is someone i can’t look at directly, not always. or maybe i can, but i don’t recognise them completely anymore.

like. there is something so completely captivating about them as a trio of people making life after the ravens, after riko, after all their entirely different experiences of the same place, but the same core truths recognised by all of them. kevin was not at risk from riko (until he was), but he could see it in both of them. thea was not inner circle, but she understood the threat of riko and the master. jean did not have the same ability to walk out—to live long enough to graduate, to have someone to run to—but he knew them (individually and together), no matter the difference in all their circumstances.

they all made it. you know? thea clawed herself to the top in a team that made it twice as hard for her to be anything, and she made herself the best. kevin walked out in the wake of losing everything, and he’s the ultimate comeback kid of exy, the son who reclaimed his title no matter all the things done to destroy that dream. jean was told he was a thing before he was a person, and the one friend he had for free, no strings, walked into that nightmare and pulled him out. thea shows up when kevin says he’s never been skiing. jean can’t look at kevin, but he goes to the trojans in the end. and that’s the best gift kevin can give him: the team he loves, captain he admires, sunshine and ocean air and a thousand miles away from the court that tried to make jean into broken bones and blood in the shape of a backliner.

they made it! they made it. and i just. i don’t know. i just think it’s so fascinating to think about, all three of them, all the things they’ve seen and more that they haven’t, truths shared and truths hidden, and how at the end of it all, they might not be the same people they were back in the nest, but they’re never going to scrub those people from their skin. and maybe thea doesn’t want to, and maybe jean doesn’t know how to, and maybe kevin slips back into that person when he’s on the court and frustrated beyond belief. whatever. that’s part of the appeal. i want to look at all their sharp teeth, bared over each other’s necks and grazing it but not closed over it, and point at those sharp teeth. let me look. let me look

#aftg #kevin day #thea muldani #jean moreau #thea & jean is my actual favourite thea dynamic (i think kevthea is understandably more important though) #i’m just fascinated by like. jean has had so little to hold onto. him having a player he looks up to like. means so much to me lol #i do have an idea along these lines but i have to decipher how much of it is a story as opposed to like #an expulsion of my own thoughts ordered into narrative #anyway you can dislike or like any of these characters or ships obviously. it makes no difference to me #i just think it’s a waste of a dynamic to ignore the mess they could have instead of exploring it #also i know i said i don’t have strong interest in any of these dynamics romantically and i stand by that #but i’d still write them for stories i’d want to tell. if that makes sense #mostly this is me saying ‘i don’t regularly write these dynamics romantically bc they’re not my main focus’ but like. i would #post ravens trio

Erm hate to miraculous post… but DAMN they really rode the “black best friend” trope. And THEN they paired the two black best friends together. Ummmm that’s not!

#obviously I’m not saying two black people cant be in love #but there’s something so odd about it #nino had a romance thing with marinette for a little bit it was only to pave way for his relationship with Alta #god I fucking hate that show it’s terrible #not to mention how his character was butchered in season four #and how Alya is literally JUST Marinettes friend #her life literally REVOLVES around her #and the stereotypes… the fuck? #terrible show. absolute ass. and the fandom just constantly sexualizes these teenagers #CONSTANTLY. worse than the td fandom. it’s discussing #and the writing is absolutely terrible #the new seasons are even worse so I don’t want to hear it #the animation is awful too #not to mention the outright creepy behaviors #and Chloe’s scrapped redemption arc was stupid as fuck #Luka was a useless ass character #it’s like they just want to keep people involved #all the love square ships SUCK by the way #Adrien SUCKS #Marinette SUCKS #Alya and Kagami and early show Nino are the only bearable characters #ok rant over but it’s definitely my least favorite hyperfixation ever #you can definitely make your own fun of it though! no hate to the fans #the normal ones. #original post #nonfandom post #I am NOT tagging this with that show. #show hate

especially considering I’m generally pretty flexible with prompts etc etc

i really hate that zukka became like a popular ship with the younger generation like it was fine when it was a rare pair situation but it’s out of fucking hand

#like i obviously don’t actually ship zuko/aang but there’s like. #more canon basis for zuko/aang than there is for zuko/sokka #especially after korra like what they built a city together…… #again. don’t actually ship this i’m just fucking saying #i fought in the fucking zutara trenches—

Me: so I’m not a fan of racist & xenophobic with their victim—

#especially if Hermione is a woman of color :| #I’m not saying that the reader or author of said pairings are anything #I just don’t ship them and tend to remove them via filter #listen to me #I genuinely don’t care if you read Dramione or love it to high heavens #it’s like peanut butter #I hate peanut butter so I obviously don’t buy it but I’m not gonna stop someone else from enjoying themselves #this applies to every other pairing #some squick me out but it’s eh #I can’t control what other people do yk

not saying you absolutely cannot elaborate on ozai in fanfic but I do think it’s often. weird especially considering his place in the narrative which is. quite literally to be the Evil (tm) the protagonists need to defeat (mostly imperialism & child abuse). like there’s a difference between adding nuance to a villain and writing an uwu fluffy romance fic between said villain and his wife (whom he canonically abuses in the comics!) with zero critical thinking (and possibly accidentally becoming apologism for the things the villain symbolises)

#atla #I get if you don’t consider the comics canon or haven’t read them (I don’t & haven’t either) but it’s so funny when people are like. #ozai voice I can excuse imperialism & child abuse but I draw the at abusing my wife #elli rambles #also when people are like well bad people also deserve love and happiness or whatever (genuine take I’ve seen multiple times btw) #bestie. these are characters. they’re not in fact people with agency or who can ‘deserve’ stuff they’re pieces of a story in the same way #like. themes are. they’re not real!!! #also I think ursa x ozai fics are just a. particularly egregious example of ppl only being able to look at things with their shipping goggle #r #none of this is worded well I’m just saying stuff but I’m just like. ugh #again you can obviously write whatever the fuck you want I’m not the boss of you I’m just pointing out sth that’s just. weird to me

I am perpetually one bad take away from writing and posting a pages-long rant about why portraying Kamet and Marin’s relationship as childish or unimportant or comphet or not based on a strong emotional connection makes no sense at all given the information available from the text itself

#like. it would have been SO MUCH more acceptable for both of them not to pursue this relationship #sometimes i see a line in a fanfic that makes me want to write a critical essay in response about how wrong the author is #obviously I would never do that. i simply move on and say ‘this story is not for me’ #but I have started keeping a list so I don’t surprise myself the next time I’m rereading stuff in the k/c tag #and sometimes I name-search m before starting the story lol #usually she’s not mentioned and it’s fine! she doesn’t need to be! #she’s literally not there in the book! you don’t need to treat her like a canon gf getting in the way of a slash ship! #dismissing their relationship as trivial is just gratuitous! #fandom musings #elizabeth beware

we literally have a lesbian in Stranger Things 4 but all people can talk about is if Will and Mike are going to get together

#stranger things #stranger things season four #mike wheeler #will byers #robin buckley #like there are some posts that talk about robin #but it’s mostly just this byler nonsense #like yeah obviously will is gay #mike?? lmao no #don’t even get me started on people saying it’s queerbaiting #I’m so tired of people only focusing on mlm ship stuff #when there’s literally other queer characters present #no I will not be taking any criticism

still thinking about the fact that when tg put their feet on that human footstool greg a) was carrying a rainbow coloured notebook and b) rested his foot so that it was touching tom’s. like girl. there is a whole ass man to put your foot on yet you put it to rest gently against tom’s whilst holding a faggy notebook. what did they mean by this

#txt #it’s literally just like when ed and stede are tied up on the ship in our flag means death and touch feet. like literally. and guess what #they do in that show. guess what they wanna do w each other just take a guess #sigh. sigh #greg is never beating the requited allegations!!!! even that far back!!! #obv i’m not saying he felt as intensely as tom #did from the start but he obviously felt Some kind of liking to tom and attraction cuz. i mean yeah i too try to touch the foot of someone i #don’t want to be close to or dislike. yeah
